Anyway, I am in that gray area of rads, T2 NO, pCR after chemo, double MRM. Are you still glad you didn&#39;t do rads? <br />Hoping you hit your 5 year mark and are enjoying you beautiful daughter.

I couldn&#39;t agree more about your words on doctors - I just left an oncologist office because I felt like I was being treated like a piece of cattle. Cancer-infected cattle, grant you, but still. Not what I am looking for in an oncologist!<br /><br />I&#39;m enjoying your blog very much.

Getting the drains removed is such a big relief. Funny how they wouldn&#39;t let you shower until 36 hours after the drains were removed, and with me they made me shower before they would let me leave the hospital! Do you need to do any additional chemo or radiation this time? I will defintely being doing chemo but still waiting to hear if I will be doing the radiation. My plastic surgeon is wonderful and very verbal, but my oncologist is not a talker(I hear she is a good Dr. though, thank God!). Hope all is well on the home front and wishing ou a speedy recovery.<br /><br />JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04246452113934027962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767848139430598166.post-1911585253743389462011-03-31T16:34:33.141-04:002011-03-31T16:34:33.141-04:00Hi Lorrie,

And it&#39;s definitely good news to hear that you are BRAC negative, and particularly that the lymph nodes were clear. Congratulations on that.<br /><br />Too bad you had allergy issues, though, as those can be very pesky and uncomfortable. I hope they are all resolved now, though. <br /><br />Be well!TNBCAmazonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871324449517552676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767848139430598166.post-17912890116247666772011-03-30T09:37:38.399-04:002011-03-30T09:37:38.399-04:00Congrat&#39;s sound like great news.

Let me tel you, it&#39;s one special club...<br /><br />It sounds as if you are well on your way towards treatment, with surgery coming up for you soon. I hope it all goes smoothly. I will be thinking of you...<br /><br />Thank you for sending all of those prayers my way. I&#39;m sure all those helped me get through my surgery smoothly. Having support really makes a big difference as you progress on your cancer journey. <br /><br />Listen, if you have any questions you would like to ask me, feel free to drop me an email sometime. You can contact me by clicking on the &quot;email me&quot; link on my profile page. <br /><br />Good luck to you as you prepare for surgery. It&#39;s a good time to get some spring cleaning done before you&#39;re not allowed to lift your arms higher than your shoulders for a couple of weeks. Oh, and don&#39;t forget to move dinner plates, glasses and food down to countertop level before surgery, so you can reach things afterward...TNBCAmazonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871324449517552676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767848139430598166.post-13191434166123828362011-03-14T19:51:03.114-04:002011-03-14T19:51:03.114-04:00I ran across your blog today.
